WASHINGTON - A new threat assessment from U.S. counterterrorism analysts says that al-Qaida has used its safe haven along the Afghan-Pakistan border to restore its operating capabilities to a level unseen since the months before Sept. 11, 2001.[...]

"They seem to be fairly well settled into the safe haven and the ungoverned spaces of Pakistan," Kringen testified. "We see more training. We see more money. We see more communications. We see that activity rising."[...]

The findings could bolster the president's hand at a moment when support on Capitol Hill for the war is eroding and the administration is struggling to defend its decision for a military buildup in Iraq.[...]

Yeah, sure. That's why we're in Iraq instead of bombing the crap out of their "safe haven." It boggles the mind that our so-called government thinks we're so fucking stupid. I'm on the verge of cheering them on.

That must be part of the terror spectacular planned for the summer, in part with the free health care we give the Afghanistan and Iraqi people. My question is, are there going to be cotton candy and foot long hotdogs? I am not much for the hots but I do like the cotton candy, maybe some Italian Ice would be nice._________________I feel the same way about disco as I do about herpes. -HST

I for one want irrefutable proof, that terrieorist are actually occupying
the area in question.

Therefore I want to suggest we "gather" said proof in the following manner.

A) Put out a press release that Prez. Bush and his Vice Cheney, will be
touring the area by motorcade.

B) Leak info on the make and model of the vehicles.

C) The route that will be taken.

D) What safety precautions will be taken, and ways to counter them.

Before we go bombing areas within and near the Pakistan border, I would like to remind everyone that Pakistan is a Nuclear Power, which happened during the presidency of the ever-vigilant Bill Clinton

actually, he goes to the United Church of Christ in Chicago, but that could just be his cover story.

Oooooo...like I give a fuck!

Pakistan is in our debt, and our back pocket. If we were truly serious about the Al-Qaida threat there we would do something about it other than using it as an excuse to keep killing our soldiers in Iraq, and trying to frighten us.

Our government has become nothing more than consummate bullshit artists.

Really? I thought most people quit believing the government around '73, but those in power haven't accepted it yet. Why should they? They keep getting elected, and their promises and declarations are just so much bullshit. Look no further than the last election._________________Mom says it's because you have dependency issues, and it was only a matter of time before you threw it away on some tramp.

What better way to get rid of debt and 'pesky' military than to nuke us all? If I had a nuke, I'd nuke Citicards and their pesky little phone people in a heartbeat._________________Everyone loves a smart girl....

France is in our debt, but clearly not in our back pocket. What makes you think Pakistan is any different.

Aubie,
I am with your plan against the credit card companies. Can we wipe out Blockbuster Video while we are at it?
